How many inches can I expect to lose off my waistline If I get a tummy tuck? (Photos)

Hello and thank you for your question.  It is challenging to predict the exact number of inches you may lose.   Based on your
photograph, you are a great candidate for a tummy tuck with liposuction.  This can be done through a low and short
incision, all completely below the bikini line. 
The belly button can be designed to look natural and have no scars on
the exterior.   Your muscles can also be
plicated resulting in a flat abdomen. 
Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of
real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate
their results.  The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are
comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified
board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

Hello!You will not lose 10 inches off your waistline. That is a large amount. Please discuss with your plastic surgeon to see what she/he thinks you will reasonably achieve. This is a great question!

Thank you for sharing your question and photograph.  In general the waistline of a patient is determined by the underlying bony anatomy of the ribs and hips.  Based on your supplied picture I do not think you will approximate a 10 inch reduction in your waist but you do look as if you would obtain a very nice result.  Hope this helps.
